Well my first OW dive will be in Wazee Lake, Wisconsin, Black River Falls. It was a taconite mine that flooded. After that my next one is planned for the Flordia Keyes or the Bahamas.

Thanks for asking.

Matt, I'll be doing my first dive this year in Eastbourne Marina this Thursday evening (new kit to get weighted and trimmed). It will be bloody cold, very dark and I expect to lose most of my tools off the quayside into the water whilst fettling with my kit. Whilst diving I expect to see some scabby shivvering crabs, a few eels and lots of silt.

Now, I am only mentioning this in a friendly way. I don't want you to think that I am trying to out-do you with tales of the exotic locations that I expect to dive. Obviously, most people would prefer to dive in Eastbourne Marina rather than the Bahamas so let me know if you want to swap. I wouldn't offer to swap trips for just anyone you know but ...... well......you seem like a reasonable chap and ..............

Naturally, we are allowed to dive in the arse end of the Marina where no pictures for the web site ever get taken .

Hi Finless.

I have a few exotic locations in mind, but I will probably go to the Bahamas or Florida Keyes. All the other places are a bit too far for me to go. Enjoy your first dive, it actually sounds pretty cool!

Take care,
Matt

Oh, I can assure you, cool is EXACTLY how it will be in Eastbourne Marina...

Started off the New year in the best possible way, Matt... keep it up and the OW dive will be a piece of cake!

It sounds really cool. The air temp is just above freezing and we have had snow flurries!

I have given up on the idea of sorting out my trim as that involves taking wet hands out of gloves, playing with spanners and potentially moving the twinning bands and then putting cold hands back in cold wet gloves etc ......

Tonight I will just sort out the correct amount of weight and then I plan on trying my as of yet, unused whilst diving, metal detector.

Hmmm, I wonder what I'll find? Pirates gold disturbed from its hiding place when the marina was built! If I do make it rich tonight then I'll fly out to the Bahamas to see your dive!
